Sister Mary Ouchalorius

The Boo Boo Babe Art Dolls came to be after i experienced a series of surgeries, accidents, broken bones, ribs and lots of boo boos over the past year. These therapy dolls are a whimsical approach to dealing with physical and emotional pain on all levels as well as childhood trauma and abuse.

Meet Sister Mary Ouchalorius. She is the music director of the Our Lady of Perpetual Boo Boos Choir. Anyone who dares to sing off key is whacked with a rolled up music sheet. Those who tempt fate by talking in music class are the target of a perfectly aimed hurled eraser. Sister Mary Ouchalorius also coaches the Our Lady of Perpetual Boo Boos Nuns' Softball Team

Yes, this whimsical art doll is a result of attending Catholic school for 12 years. That is a lot of nuns for one lifetime! And i have had my share of whacks from a few. This Boo Boo Babe is a one of a kind art doll made from a fun mix of new and recycled fabrics & buttons.

She wears a traditional black nun habit with ragged edges at the bottom and a vintage lace collar with a very old partial rosary around her neck. She holds a vintage scapular in one hand that reads Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Pray for us. (Anyone who attended Catholic school way back when nuns were allowed to hit knew to pray a lot for mercy!) In her other hand is a rolled up music sheet taken from an antique classical music book. A partial rosary of Jobes tears with a silver medal of the Holy Family dangles from her hand. All medals, rosaries and scapulars are from my Nonna's stash of holy things so they are authentic and very old.

All art dolls are filled with new polyfil. Measures about 17 inches long and about 12 inches wide. Not meant to stand on her own. Place on a bed, couch or pillow. These art dolls are not intended as toys for children or pets.
